The Ontario Hockey Federation and its seven member partners, including the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA), have issued a statement regarding spring tryouts for the 2020-21 season.

The health and safety of all participants in the sport is of the utmost importance to the OHF and its member partners. As such, tryouts for the 2020-21 season will not be conducted this Spring. Instead the OHF will provide guidance on when the introduction of the 2020-21 season will begin, subject to the Hockey Canada Board of Directors’ future decision when to reinstate all Hockey Canada-sanctioned activities. Such introduction will take into consideration ice availability, capacity and other logistics involved in organizing hockey programs.

The Ontario Minor Hockey Association’s
foremost priority is the health and safety of our participants,
volunteers and hockey families. We have been proactively working
alongside Health Canada, Hockey Canada and local public health
officials in regards to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). In light of recent
events, the OMHA Officers have made the decision to immediately suspend all hockey
activities. We will be proactive in informing our
constituents on all upcoming protocols and required actions as they
become available.
